causes of metabolic acidosis
diarrhea, lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, diabetes, starvation, acute alcoholism, hyperkalemia
causes of Respiratory alkalosis
anxiety/fear, hypoxia, pain, fever, sepsis, CHF, asthma, ARDS, pulmonary embolus
causes of metalbolic alkalosis
Vomiting, N/G suctioning, diurectic, increased antacids, hypokalemia, adminstration of HCO3
respiratory acidosis
symptoms
restleness, dizziness, dyspnea, headache, coma, tremors, disorientation
metabolic acidosis
symptoms
drowziness, headache, coma, seizures, hyperventilation, hyperkalemia, nausea/vomiting, cardiac dysrhythmias, diarhhea

Potassium
major ICF cation
sodium
major ECF cation
effects H2O dist. ECF& ICF
Na pump effects nerve impulse transmission
kidneys regualte ECF Na via ADH effect on H2O
what happens in low sodium
aldersterone up
sodium reabsorption
H2O reabsorption
Blood volume
Cardiac output
potassium
main ICF cation
controls osmotic pressure
neuromuscular activity(heart)
effects skeletal muscle and cardiac excitability
regulates ABB
effects glucose transport
Aldersterone conserves Na & H2O pormotes K excretion
Potassium acid base balance
hyperkalemia=acidosis
hypokalemia=alkalosis
digitalis
hypokalemia can enhance effect of drug causing digitalis toxicity
sodium/potassium relationship
inverse in the kidneys factors that cause Na retension(blood loss,increased aldersterone)cause K loss
hyponatremia S & S
anorexia, nausea/vomiting, lethargy, CONFUSION, muscle cramps, twitching, seisures
hyponatremia causes & tx
diuretics, GI loss, diaphoresis, water excess, hypotonic solutions(slowly to avoid intracanial pressure prob)
Give NS IV & oral Na
Hypernatremia S&S
thirst, hyperpyrexia, dry mouth, lethargy, irratilbility, siezures, hallucinations
hypernatremia causes & tx
water loss, hypertonic tube feedings, diabetes insipidus, hyperventalation, diarrhea, renal failure
give IV solutions without NA
hypokalemia S&S
fatigue, anorexia, n/v, muscle weakness, Slow GI motility, paresthesia,
Heart-Flat T waves, ST wave depression, U wave presence, ventricular arryth., PVC's, bradycardia, enhanced digitalis effect
hypokalemia causes
diuretics, diarrhea, vomiting, gastric suction, hyperaldosteronism(renal issue),bulimia, shift form ECF into ICF(effect serumK)
treat hypokalemia

Dose 20mEq/l or run of 10mEq/l in 100ml in hour
